*************** excerpted from their site *************
The mission of the World Journalism Institute is to recruit, equip, place and encourage journalists who are Christians in the mainstream newsrooms of America.
The World Journalism Institute seeks to identify aspiring journalists who are Christians and help them become proficient and professional in their calling of journalism. Our focus is mainstream media as opposed to Christian media, because the daily newspaper and broadcast news media outlets are primary sources of information about the world. Christians, joining those of many persuasions in the newsroom, can be beneficial in accurately understanding and reporting the events of the day. [continued]
Q: Is there a theological litmus test at the World Journalism Institute?
A: There is no theological litmus test or template set for the students or the teachers. While the administration of WJI is Reformed and would look to historic Presbyterianism for its theological understanding, the teachers and students represent all the perspectives of historic, orthodox Christianity.
Q: Are students from all Christian denominations and traditions welcome at the World Journalism Institute?
A: Yes. All that is required on the statement of faith portion of the course/workshop application is a brief written profession of faith in Jesus Christ as one's lord and savior."
